Sthanak meri Manzil!!!


More appropriate title to this blog would have been "Home to Station". This is probably the first blog related to my personal experiences. This is being written in response to an order passed by my poetic and blogging and defence mentor about six months ago.

So basically I live in Panvel, my college is in Bandra. Three kilometres from my house is the Panvel station and from their forty five Kilometres away is my college. From station my college is about 1.6 km away.

Me: Ha bhai ha aur koi hai hi nahi duniya mein.....


So let us continue. 

Generally on regular college days I use share rickshaw to reach the Panvel Railway station. They charge Rs. 20 per seat. Usually our lectures used to start by 9.30 A.M. in the morning. So I used to take the 7.39 direct Goregaon train (Maa kasam jannat hai yar baithne mila toh!). Let all that be aside. Let us come back to our rickshaw. So whenever I go in an auto the three seats behind if occupied by ladies we gentlemen have no other option but to seat with the driver on his seat and I like it a hell lot. Once you are with him then in any case of road rage that occurs during that short journey of 7-8 minutes I will always be by his SIDE. 😂

This is the story of normal non exam days. During exam the greatest problem is that the paper starts at 2:30 P.M. So getting a share rickshaw is almost impossible because no one literally no one goes to station after 10.30. So going to station by rickshaw becomes very expensive. Because then they charge 20*3 = 60 rupees. So I use our ages old (14 year old) Scooty pep + in order to reach station on exam days. I park it in Central Railway's official contractual (God Knows Parking) for 30 rupees for entire day and thus save Rs. 30 (😎).

Now let us directly jump to exam day 1:

09/05/2023

Exam : AM-4/EM-4

The Journey: I took that legendary Scooty and reached the station peacefully.

Wait for the second day, life has never been so smooth for Panvelkars overall Raigadkars.

Exam day 2:

11/05/2023

Exam : CNND

The Journey: I took that legendary Scooty and reached the station peacefully.

Wait, yet once again; for the second day, life has never been so smooth for Panvelkars overall Raigadkars rather Navi Mumbaikars would suit here.

Exam day 3:

15/05/2023

Exam: OS

The Journey: That day no one was at home, after doing hell lot of work I called my parents to ask which Scooty should I take so I was asked to take pep +. I took it, its important to note that I was not wearing a helmet because the helmet doesn't actually fit in the dicky of pep+. While going to station, I encounter a circle called as Adai Circle. Entire New Panvel is defined around Adai Circle and HDFC circle. So as I came close to Adai Circle two God Sent Angels stopped me, they said, " Dada pudhe naka jaau, pudhe nakaa jaau", I stopped and at a distance I could see a huge Naka Bandi, traffic policemen and policewomen were there all over so I just took a U-Turn and then I went to station from a route that takes 10 mins more than usual to reach the station. But the intense calculations that keep on going in my head during catching trains helped me reach on time even on that fateful day.

Exam Day 4 :

17/05/2023

Exam : AT

The Journey: That day my mother was having some work to do at the bank so she asked my father to take the Scooty and she said to me you take Activa and also drop me. Now when I was riding Activa I realised that the petrol level has gone down significantly so I had to take a  long cut  and had to wait in a double line at the petrol pump which means two lines go on simultaneously wherein the vehicles are fuelled simultaneously just like pre-emptive scheduling algorithms. But by God's Grace I reached at time that day too.

Exam Day 5:

19/05/2023

Exam: COA

The Journey: As I told you the previous day journey was exceptional as I went on Activa that day. But the day before that was extremely exceptional. So keeping that in mind I was so conscious that I didn't go to Adai Circle and directly I took that long cut I went very fast and got a train earlier than I expected and I finished up reaching college half  an hour earlier than usual days.

The End 😂 

Thank You very much! Jai Hind .🔥🔥

I would have put up a map from my home to the station but didn't do so taking into account security reasons.

Malvan: An Indelible Trip!

Image
It was December 2022 when we, a group of five friends decided to go to a trip at my native place. It was quite successful but not quite far from our homes. Then in June 2023 we decided to go a little far and for real ended up going to Shirdi which is almost 291 km. It was a one night trip rather a pilgrimage wherein we spent the night in our sleeper train itself while returning. Then, since our trips were succeeding by the grace of supreme, we decided to plan a larger one for the next time and guess what!? We didn't only plan it but also have now executed it and now we are lost in the nostalgia of that trip. Since happiness increases by sharing, I decided to share our experiences with you, hope you enjoy. Happy reading ahead. Umm, I very well remember we had our "Periodic Test II" in the month of October 2023 from 9th to 12th October and since the syllabus of all the subjects had been declared over by then, for 13th of October weirdest of weird time table had been issued,

Bhavsagar: The Cosmic Ocean!!!

Image
"Kewat re kewat badi bhagi teri naiyya...   Aaj teri nayya mein biraje, bhavsagar ke khivaiyaa!! " Kewat, a professional who owns boats and helps people cross rivers, played a significant role in the story of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshman during their period of vanvaas (exile). They needed to cross the holy river Ganga, which was wide and deep, making it impossible to cross on foot. Sri Ram, accompanied by the king of Nishads, Sri Nishadraj, called upon the kewat to serve them. During the reign of Ramayana, all the people on Earth were incarnations of various gods who had come to serve Lord Vishnu in the form of Rama. However, Sri Ram himself was unaware that he was Lord Vishnu (Parameshwar). The kewat, eager to wash and touch the holy feet of the supreme with Ganga Jal (water from the Ganga), started arguing with Sri Ram. He explained that Sri Ram's feet were miraculous, as he had stepped on a stone which got converted into an Apsara had emerged. The kewat

Lord Vitthala!

Image
Lord Vitthala Who is Lord Vitthala? This question may come in minds of those people who are not very well aware about the sant and varkari  tradition of the Indian State of Maharashtra. Let me come straight to the point, Lord Vitthal is another form of Lord Krishna like jagganath, Banke Bihari, etc. The Specialty of Lord Vitthala's temple in Maharashtra? The temple of Lord Vitthala is in Pandharpur in Maharashtra and as per the devotees and the great saints the idol in the temple is Swayambhu meaning self incarnated.  The History of the Swayambhu idol! During the end of dwapar yuga,  there lived a man called Pundalik. He wanted to attain moksha and had decided to leave for kashi so that he could become free from the continuous cycle of birth and death ( moksha *) and while going to Kashi from Pandharpur he decided to rest at Maharishi Kutkut's Ashram.  He asked Maharishi Kutkut the way to Kashi to which the great sage replied that he didn't know the route as he had neve
